Gluten-Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies Vegan + Naturally Sweetened
These chewy, chocolate-studded oatmeal cookies are inspired by a feel-good recipe from Caroline Reilly of @withgoodcare — and they’ve quickly become a favorite in our wellness kitchen.
Made with fiber-rich oats, almond flour for a blood sugar-friendly base, and naturally sweetened with maple syrup, these cookies are as functional as they are flavorful. Brain-healthy coconut oil and a dash of antioxidant-rich cinnamon round out the ingredients, supporting everything from hormone balance to cognitive health. Gluten-free, dairy-free, and plant-based, they’re the perfect treat when you're craving something sweet but still want to feel good after!
